I think downy mildew is raised like that. I took some flytrappers to the state dept of agriculture lab to get tested once. They give you a report of all the fungi in the foliage. A lot of latin if you ask me.
yes, I know what kind of mold it is..
it is "mold that belongs in the trash can"
it is also "mold that you will never see again, because from now on you will always cut away dead leaf material before mold has a chance to develope"..
yep, im pretty sure thats what kind of mold it is.
but seriously, as has been said, its just some kind of common mildewey fungus..one of a possible hundred different types..exact ID isnt terribly important..its just mold..
whats more important is that its very easy to prevent..just by snipping off those dead leaves before you even get mold..
Just clipped that same exact mold off of the dead leaves on my VFT's the other day. Like has been said, it only feasts on already dead material. Shouldn't pose a problem to new growth, if snipped off.
